2006 GMC Envoy XL

Defect. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer and GMC Envoy vehicles, and 2006 GMC Envoy XL and Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT vehicles. Fluid may enter into the driver's door master power window switch module, causing corrosion that could result in a short in the circuit board, causing window switches to become inoperative. Previously, the affected vehicles may have had their master power window switch module treated with a protective coating, instead of having it replaced.

Risk. The protective coating may not eliminate the risk that the circuit board could short and result in a fire, even while the vehicle is unattended.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and dealers will install a new driver's door switch module, free of charge. The recall began on November 2, 2015. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, and GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 15700.

Defect. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2006-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT, GMC Envoy XL, 2006-2008 Isuzu Ascender, and Saab 9-7x vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the headlamp driver module (HDM) may overheat and fail, causing the headlamps and daytime running lights to not illuminate.

Risk. Headlamps that do not illuminate reduce the driver's ability to see the roadway and reduce the vehicle's visibility to oncoming vehicles, both of which increase the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the HDM, free of charge. The recall began on May 17, 2016. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14291.

Defect. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 SAAB 9-7x; 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL; and 2006-2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Buick Rainier and Isuzu Ascender vehicles. Fluid may enter the driver's door master power window switch module, causing corrosion that could result in a short in the circuit board. A short may cause the power door lock and power window switches to function intermittently or become inoperative. The short may also cause overheating, which could melt components of the door module, producing odor, smoke, or a fire.

Risk. A short in the circuit board could lead to a fire, increasing the risk of personal injury. A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the part number on the door module, and install a new door module if necessary, free of charge. Parts for the remedy are not currently available. An interim letter was mailed to owners in August 2014. A second owner letter will be mailed when parts are available. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-521-7300 (Buick), 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), 1-800-462-8782 (GMC), 1-800-955-9007 (SAAB), and 1-800-255-6727 (Isuzu). GM's number for this recall is 14309. NOTE: This recall provides a new remedy for all vehicles covered by recall 13V-248. Vehicles whose modules were modified but not replaced as part of the previous recall remedy must have their vehicles remedied again under this campaign.

Defect. General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 SAAB 9-7x; 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL; and 2006-2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Buick Rainier and Isuzu Ascender vehicles. Fluid may enter the driver's door module, causing corrosion that could result in a short in the circuit board. A short may cause the power door lock and power window switches to function intermittently or become inoperative. The short may also cause overheating, which could melt components of the door module, producing odor, smoke, or a fire.

Risk. A short in the circuit board could lead to a fire, increasing the risk of personal injury. A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made.

Remedy. Owners will be contacted and dealers will test the driver's door module. If the module is functioning properly, a protective coating will be applied. If the module is not functioning properly, it will be replaced. These repairs will be done free of charge. GM will notify Buick, Chevrolet, and GMC owners, Isuzu and Saab will contact their respective owners. The recall began on August 2, 2013. Buick owners may contact the owner center at 1-800-521-7300, Chevrolet owners at 1-866-694-6546, GMC owners at 1-866-996-9463, Isuzu owners at 1-800-255-6727, and Saab owners at 1-800-955-9007. GM's campaign number is 12180. This recall is an expansion of recall 12V-406.

Defect. CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH A POWER STEERING HOSE THAT IS NOT TO SPECIFICATION. UNDER EXTREME STEERING MANEUVERS, SUCH AS TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL FULLY TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE BRAKING, THE HOSE MAY FRACTURE AND LEAK FLUID.

Risk. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, POWER STEERING ASSIST WOULD BE LOST AND INCREASED STEERING EFFORT WOULD BE REQUIRED. ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH HYDRO-BOOST POWER BRAKES, IT COULD ALSO RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER BRAKE ASSIST AND INCREASED BRAKING EFFORT WOULD BE REQUIRED. IF THE POWER STEERING FLUID SPRAY WERE TO SPRAY ONTO HOT ENGINE PARTS, AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE COULD OCCUR.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE POWER STEERING HOSE(S) FOR TWO SUSPECT DATE CODES AND REPLACE THEM IF REQUIRED. THE RECALL WILL BEGIN ON OCTOBER 14, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463, BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2339, ISUZU AT 1-800-255-6727, OR HUMMER AT 1-800-732-5493.

ON HIGHWAY US-31 IN MUSKEGON COUNTY MICHIGAN, VEHICLE (ENVOY) WAS AT ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP FOR A VEHICLE STOPPED AHEAD WHEN STRUCK FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELLING AT 70+ MPH. THE ENVOY WAS THEN PUSHED INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE ENVOY. THE ENVOY SUFFERED MAJOR REAR END DAMAGE AND SEVERE FRONT END DAMAGE. NONE OF THE FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. BOTH FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATBELTS DID NOT RESTRAIN. THE SEATBELTS STRETCHED OUT TO THEIR LIMIT. BOTH FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT AND PASSENGER SEAT TWISTED INWARDS TOWARD THE CONSOLE. SEVERE BODILY INJURIES OCCURRED. ON 08/23/2018, GMC WAS MADE AWARE OF THIS. A CASE WAS OPENED. THE EVENT DATA RECORDER WAS RECOVERED BY GMC. THE EDR SHOWED THE IMPACT VELOCITY, NON-DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS AND NON-RESTRAINT OF SEATBELTS. GMC THEN CLOSED THE CASE STATING THAT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY, THERE WOULD BE NO FURTHER INVESTIGATION OR COMPENSATION. THE 2006 GMC ENVOY WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY THE AUTO INSURER.

STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. IT CANNOT BE TURNED TO THE RIGHT AS IT WILL CAUSE THE ENTIRE CARE TO SWERVE. WHEN REVERSING THE CAR TURNS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF WHERE YOU ARE TURNING. I'M BACKING INTO TRAFFIC AND HAVE TO MANUALLY PULL THE STEERING WHEEL AS IF THERE IS A POWER STEERING ISSUE. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DAY AFTER PURCHASE INDICATING I NEED CATALYST CONVERTER AND SENSOR. NO WAY TO PREDICT WHICH WAY THE CAR WILL TURN. IF I HIT A BUMP THE CAR SWERVES TO THE RIGHT CAUSING ME TO SWERVE INTO NEXT LANE. IN MOTION I AM CONSTANTLY SWERVING INTO DANGER.

2006 GMC ENVOY ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING CODE PO601 FIND OUT IT'S THE PCM

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH NEW TIRES ON IT. EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR WAS STARTING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE TIRE BEFORE THE YEAR MARK OF ME PURCHASING IT. THERE WAS NO RECALLS OPEN ON THAT TIME THAT WE COULD FIND. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FOG LIGHTS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. IT HAD ELECTRICAL SHORT THAT NO ONE SEEMED TO FIND AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO LOCATE WITHOUT EXPENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC TIME. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER ABOUT RECALLS THEY INFORMED ME THE ONLY OPEN WAS A WINDOW SWITCH. AFTER A FRONT END ACCIDENT AT 30 MPH THE TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ON IMPACT. I WAS INFORMED IN MY ESTIMATE THAT THERE WAS A OPEN RECALL WHICH COULD LEAD TO INCORRECT RIM SELECTION / TIRES FOR THE CAR CAUSING AIR LEAKAGE AND POSSIBLE ACCIDENT. IF I HAD KNOWN THIS BEFORE HAND MAYBE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED!

I AM SO SICK OF MY 06 GMC ENVOY XL. I TRULY GIVE UP. I HAD THE STABILITRAK AND REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT COME ON MY CAR FOR FIVE MONTHS. I HAVE REPLACED THE STEERING WHEEL SENSOR, THE THROTTLE BODY, AND HAD THE RELEARN THE IDLE THING DONE, TO NO AVAIL. THIS MAKES MY FOURTH TIME GOING TO THE DEALER, BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY COULD FIX IT. I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT GM. IF GOD BLESSES ME WITH ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO BUY A CAR, IT WILL NOT BE A GM. IT THROWS MY CAR OFF. I'VE HAD TO PULL OVER AND START THE CAR OVER A THOUSAND TIMES. I'VE SEEN MANY FORUMS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT THERE IS NO RECALL? I'VE EVEN CALLED GM. I STILL HAD TO PAY MONEY. RESETTING THE COMPUTER HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. JUST WANTED TO RANT, BECAUSE BESIDES GIVING ME SOME OF MY MONEY BACK (TO THE TUNE OF A GRAND), WHAT CAN I DO?

DRIVER HAD JUST EXITED A PARKING LOT ONTO A MAIN ROAD IN THE EVENING. THE CAR WAS COLD, HAD NOT BEEN USED SINCE THE MORNING. THE CAR FAILED TO TAKE POWER AFTER SLOWING DOWN FOR A LIGHT THAT WAS RED THAN CHANGED TO GREEN. THE CAR WAS ON AND IN DRIVE, BUT FAILED TO GO FURTHER. THERE WAS NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. THE DRIVER BRAKED AND STOPPED, NEARLY CAUSING THE CAR BEHIND TO REAR END THE GMC. GMC DRIVER HAD PUT FLASHERS ON IMMEDIATELY. THE CAR WAS PUT IN PARK, TURNED OFF, THAN RESTARTED. THE GMC WAS PUT INTO DRIVE, BUT AGAIN WOULD ONLY ROLL. THE DRIVER PUT THE CAR INTO GEAR 3 ON THE AUTO TRANS, THAN 2. IN GEAR 2, THE CAR MOVED. THE GMC WAS IMMEDIATELY MOVED BACK TO ITS PARKING SPOT. A DIAGNOSTIC SHOWS THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. ONLY 94,500 MILES, AND THE GM TRANSMISSION IS DEAD. IN LOOKING ON LINE AT CERTAIN CONSUMER DATA AND SPEAKING TO LOCAL MECHANICS, ALL POINT TO TRANSMISSION FAILURES ON THE GM SUV PRODUCTS, INCLUDING CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER & GMC ENVOY. *TR

2006 GMC ENVOY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE/SHE INITIALLY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL, THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. THIRTY DAYS LATER, THE RECALL WORK THAT WAS PERFORMED, MALFUNCTIONED. ALSO, THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT SYSTEM. EVEN AFTER CHANGING THE BULB, THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT WORK EVEN THOUGH THE LIGHT ON THE HATCH DID. *JB THE CONSUMER STATED AS HE ENTERED THE VEHICLE, WHILE IT WAS RAINING, WATER ENTERED THE DOOR MODULE, WHICH CAUSED IT SHORT OUT. EVENTUALLY, THE LEFT DOOR LOCK AND WINDOW CONTROLS, STOPPED WORKING. UPDATED 06/23/14.

IT HAD BEEN RAINING ALL DAY. RAN ERRANDS AND CAME HOME. AFTER MIDNIGHT, MY WINDOWS WAD HALFWAY DOWN AND NO POWER AT ALL ON DRIVERS SIDE. *JS

THIS PROBLEM IS WITH THE REAR DOOR 3RD BRAKE LIGHT SPOILER. BRACKETS HOLDING IT ON BROKE.. BELIEVE IT TO BE A DESIGN FAULT AFTER TALKING WITH JUNKYARDS AND DEALERS ABOUT THE PROBLEM. JUNKYARDS TELL ME THAT IS A BIG CALLED FOR ITEM, BUT IT IS DEALER SUPPLIED ONLY. SAFETY RISK OF IT FLYING OFF AND STRIKING ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

I FILLED UP MY ENVOY WHICH WAS AT 1/4 TANK. WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE THE YELLOW LOW GAS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BELL. I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT AND THE LOW GAS LIGHT CAME RIGHT BACK ON AND THE GAUGE REMAINS ON E. *TR

I REQUIRED A JUMP START OF MY BATTERY FOR THE FIRST TIME OF MANY BECAUSE THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN MY INSTRUMENT PANEL TO INCLUDE THE FUNCTIONS OF THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION "A SHORT IN THE CIRCUIT BOARD COULD LEAD TO A FIRE, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY" POSTED IN THE US NEW REPORTED BY KATIE LABARRE ON AUGUST 20, 2012. GM HAS ANNOUNCED A RECALL OF 250,000 SUV VEHICLES BECAUSE OF THIS BUT HAS YET TO NOTIFY ANY OF THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. LAST YEAR I HAD TO DISPUTE THE FAULTY FUEL GAUGE AND NOW THIS. I'VE TRIED CONTACTING GM AND I AM CONSTANTLY BEING GIVEN THE RUN AROUND. GMC 2006 ENVOY XL IS A GARBAGE VEHICLE AND I REGRET THE DAY I EVER PURCHASED IT!!!! *TR

GMC ENVOY XL - 2006 HAS POWERED DOWN THREE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. NO WARNING LIGHTS PRIOR TO THE POWER DOWN. THE VEHICLE SLOWS TO 15 WITHIN ABOUT 60 SECONDS. THE FIRST TIME, IN APPROXIMATELY 2008, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TWO LANES TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND THE POWER CAME BACK ON WHILE I WAS STILL COASTING. I WAS TOLD BY GMC THAT WITHOUT THE LIGHT ON THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. THE SECOND TIME IN EARLY 2012, THE SAME THING HAPPENED DURING RUSH HOUR - THERE WAS NO BREAKDOWN LANE. WHEN I WENT TO GMC THE LIGHT WENT OFF. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A USEFUL LIFE OF THE CAR AND IT WAS GETTING OLD (135,000) MILES AND I SHOULD REPLACE IT. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. IT HAPPENED AGAIN LAST WEEK ON THE INTERSTATE. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC, NON GMC, WHO COORDINATED WITH ANOTHER GMC DEALER FOR ME. THEY FIXED SOME CODES THEY SAID WERE A PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS. THEY FIXED IT AGAIN. WE DON'T KNOW IF IT'S REALLY FIXED. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. GMC HAS NO IDEA WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO FIX THIS. I HAVE NOT SEEN SERVICE BULLETINS THAT RELATE TO THIS. POWERING DOWN TO A SPEED BELOW MINIMUM SPEED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IS VERY DANGEROUS. I DO NOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE AND FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN IT. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR

THE LIFTGATE OF MY 2006 GMC ENVOY XL CAME APART FROM THE BODY. THE TOP PLASTIC PIECE FIRST STARTED TO APPEAR NOT ALIGNED WITH THE ACTUAL LIFTGATE. THAT CONTINUED TO GET WORSE OVER TIME AND THE RUBBER MOLDING AROUND THE LIFTGATE BECAME WARPED. EVENTUALLY, WITHIN 3 MONTHS, THE WHOLE LIFTGATE WAS NOT ALIGNED AND I WAS HAVING ISSUES CLOSING IT. I HAD TO HAVE THE TOP MOLDING REPLACED, THE RUBBER REPLACED AND THE DOOR WELDED BACK ON PROPERLY. I WAS TOLD THAT WHATEVER HELD THE LIFTGATE ON WAS RUSTED. *TR

2006 GMC ENVOY XL. SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED THERE HAVE BEEN REPEATED ISSUES WITH THE SERVICE LIGHTS. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED REPEATEDLY THROUGH 2012 WHERE A VARIETY OF LIGHTS COME ON. SOME STOP THE CAR FROM STARTING... IN 2006, SERVICE STABILITRACK CONSISTENTLY COMES ON ALONG WITH 3-56 OTHER LIGHTS AT THE SAME TIME. I'VE BEEN TOLD THE CONNECTORS ARE DIRTY, THAT I NEEDED A BATTERY REPLACEMENT WHICH WAS UNTRUE. OTHER TIMES THE CAR HAS GONE FOR SERVICE, NOONE REALLY HAS THE RIGHT FIX. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH ALL THE SENSORS. *TR

WHILE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING, A BURN SMELL EMINITTING FROM DRIVER SIDE DOOR. IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT VEHICLE TO LOCAL REPAIR SHOP FOR REPAIR. THEY DIAGNOSED THE SMELL AND WINDOW FAILURE TO THE DRIVER SIDE MASTER SWITCH. THE REPAIR SHOP USED ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT PART. THIS MONTH AGAIN, MY SWITCH DOES NOT WORK AND WINDOWS CURRENTLY ARE NOT WORKING. FRUSTRATING BECAUSE GMC ACCEPTED NO RESPONSIBILITY. I STILL HAVE THE OLD SWITCH AND RECEIPT AND SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE LABOR AND REPLACEMENT PART COST. THANK YOU *TR

BOUGHT THE GMC ENVOY 2006 YESTERDAY AT 50,000 MILES AND FILLED UP WITH GAS AND THE GAUGE STAYED ON EMPTY FOR APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES THAN STARTED TO FLUCTUATE BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL. *JS

SERVICE STABILITY TRACTION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION,CAUSES STABILITY SYSTEM TO NOT FUNCTION

WHEN TURNING CORNERS ON SMOOTH ASPHALT THE STABILITRAC LIGHT COMES ON AND ENGAGES THE SYSTEM WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO MOMENTARILY SLOW DOWN AND MAKES A "GROWL" SOUND, THIS ALSO EFFECTS THE STEERING. IT MAY DO THIS MULTIPLE TIMES PER TURN OR ONLY ONCE. IT HAS OCCURRED AT VARYING SPEEDS (TURNS AT 45MPH AND TURNS AT 10MPH). STARTED OUT ONLY OCCURRING DURING LEFT HAND TURNS, NOW HAPPENS ON ALMOST ALL TURNS. I HAVE NOTICED IT IS MUCH WORSE ON WINDY DAYS. THE STABILITRAC ALSO KICKS IN WHEN I TURN ONTO GRAVEL AND START TO SPEED UP (NOT MASHING THE GAS AND SPINNING TIRES, BUT SIMPLY SPEEDING UP AT A REGULAR PACE THAT SHOULD NOT POSE PROBLEMS). *TR

NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FOR THE PAST WEEK HAS BEEN ACTING VERY STRANGE. I HAD A HALF TANK OF GAS AND DRIVE VERY LITTLE DAILY (MAYBE 10 MILES) AND IN 3 DAYS IT WENT FROM 1/2 TANK TO EMPTY. I ACTUALLY THOUGHT MY GAS WAS LEAKING OUT, BUT NO GAS SPOTS OR LEAKS. NOW, IT WAS ON EMPTY, LIGHT CAME ON, AND STARTED TO BING, AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ALSO. I FILLED THE CAR UP AND FUEL LIGHT IS STILL ON AND SO IS THE ENGINE LIGHT. INDICATING A PROBLEM AT THE FUEL GAGE. I LOVE THIS CAR, I HAVE NEVER LOVED A CAR MORE...BUT, NOW READING ALL THE HUGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS...AND THE COST TO HAVE IT FIXED IS WAYYYYYYYYY MORE THAN I CAN PAY OR AFFORD. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW I AM GOING TO PAY THE FIRST HALF OF MY RE TAXES AND MY HOME OWNERS INSURANCE, I USED TO WORK FOR YEARS WITH AUTO DEALERS AND WITH THIS AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS, THE MANUFACTURE NORMALLY DOES A RECALL AND FIXES THIS PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS, IF I KEEP DRIVING IT WITHOUT GETTING IT FIXED WILL I CREATE MORE PROBLEMS AND THE BIGGER PROBLEM IS HOW DO I KNOW WHEN I AM ON EMPTY SINCE IT IS NOW ALWAYS ON EMPTY?????? *TR

THE ENTIRE COMPONENT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FAILS TO WORK. THE WINDOWS OPERATE FROM THE BACK SEAT AND PASSENGER SEAT CONTROLS. THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW DOES NOT WORK, THE DRIVERS DOOR DOES NOT LOCK (AUTOMACTICALLY) I HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAS WARNED ME NOT TO REPLACE THE FUSE AS IT COULD START A FIRE. I HAVE HAD THIS CHECKED OUT AND THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT IN THE DOOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

GAS GAUGE FAILED TO READ THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK. THANKFULLY, WE NOTICED BEFORE RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY. FUEL GAUGE WOULD FLOAT BETWEEN 1/4 AND 3/4 TANK SO YOU COULDN'T TELL HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAD. *TR

WHILE DRIVING I TURNED ON MY LEFT BLINKER TO TURN. THE WIPER CAME ON AND IT SPRAYED WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID. I PUT IT BACK INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITION AND THEY KEPT SPRAYING AND WOULD NOT STOP. I PULLED OVER TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON. THE WIPERS CAME BACK ON IMMEDIATELY AND CONTINUED TO SPRAY WIND WASHER FLUID. THEN MY SPEAKERS STARTED TO PLAY A DISTORTED SOUND. I TURNED OFF VEHICLE AGAIN ABOUT 4 MORE TIMES AND EVERY TIME THE WIPER BLADES AND SPRAY CAME BACK ON. I HAD TO STAY PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES THEN THEY STOPPED. OR SO I THOUGHT, AS I STARTED TO DRIVE AND HIT 20MPH THE WIPER BLADES CAME ON AND IT STARTED SPRAYING AGAIN TILL IT FINISHED THE ENTIRE GALLON OF WIND WASHER FLUID. AS I PULLED INTO MY DRIVE WAY THE WIPER BLADES KEPT ON CLEANING WITH NO LIQUID. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND THE WIPER BLADES CONTINUED FOR A FEW MORE SECONDS THEN STOPPED. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND I AM WONDERING WHAT IS MY NEXT STEP FROM HERE? *JS

FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY. GAUGE DOES NOT SHOW FUEL LEVELS. *TR

FILLED MY GAS TANK UP AND THE FUEL GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY AFTER FILLING. EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK, IT GOES TO EMPTY AND THEN AFTER DRIVING A BIT THE GAUGE STARTS RE-REGISTERING. I HAVE NO IDEA IF IT IS ACCURATE ANYMORE. EVAPORATOR PURGE SOLENOID HAS ALSO WENT OUT CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THE LACK OF AN ACCURATE GAS GAUGE IS A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE RECALL THIS VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE EXPERIENCED A CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT DISPLAY ON WHAT IS NOW THE THIRD TIME FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE FOR EACH OF THESE THREE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYS ON MY 2006 GMC ENVOY WAS FOR A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR IN THE FUEL TANK. THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM, GM REPLACED THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR UNIT UNDER WARRANTY. I EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE IN THE SUMMER OF 2009 WITH APPROXIMATELY 65000 MILES ON IT. I REPLACED THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR MYSELF TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AGAIN TODAY (9-2-11) I HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON & A CODE CHECK REVEALED A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR. THE VEHICLE HAS 83000 MILES ON IT. *TR

WITH NO APPARENT CAUSE, THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2006 GMC ENVOY BEGAN FLUCTUATING WILDLY. IT FIRST HAPPENED AFTER I FILLED UP WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS- THE GAUGE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO EMPTY AND THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. EVER SINCE, THE GAUGE DOES NOT GIVE ACCURATE FUEL READINGS- IT WILL READ FULL WHEN EMPTY, EMPTY WHEN FULL, AND THE NEEDLE WILL SPIKE ALL OVER THE PLACE.. I CONSIDER IT TO BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN- RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY FUEL SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK AND WOULD COST $700 TO REPLACE. *TR

GAS GAUGE BOUNCED AROUND INTERMITTENTLY FOR WEEKS REGARDLESS OF FUEL LEVEL. NOW IT JUST READS EMPTY. AIR COMPRESSOR HASN'T WORKED SINCE LAST NOVEMBER. FUEL PUMP WENT OUT LAST NIGHT. REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY HAS NEVER WORKED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. WHAT A LEMON. WILL NEVER BUY GMC EVER AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY XL. THE CONTACTED STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN EMPTY READING. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER TAKEN FOR FAILURE DIAGNOSTICS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

2006 GMC ENVOY XLT - INACCURATE AND RANDOM FUEL LEVEL READING WHILE DRIVING, RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL AND CAUSING VEHICLE STALL WITH NO RESTART. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD FLUCTUATE AND PROVIDE ERRONEOUS FUEL LEVEL READINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THEY ADVISED HIM TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 61,240. UPDATED 12/12/11*LJ UPDATED 01/18/12

WITH NO APPARENT CAUSE, THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2006 GMC ENVOY BEGAN FLUCTUATING WILDLY. IT FIRST HAPPENED IN MARCH OF 2011 AFTER I FILLED UP WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS- THE GAUGE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO EMPTY AND THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. EVER SINCE, THE GAUGE DOES NOT GIVE ACCURATE FUEL READINGS- IT WILL READ FULL WHEN EMPTY, EMPTY WHEN FULL, AND THE NEEDLE WILL SPIKE ALL OVER THE PLACE. JUST RECENTLY (MAY OF 2011) THE GAUGE STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. IT NOW CONSTANTLY READS EMPTY. I CONSIDER IT TO BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN- RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. I NOTIFIED GM OF THE PROBLEM AND JUST TODAY, 6/3/11 WAS TOLD "NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION EXISTS TO INDICATE A PROBLEM OR WARRANT A RECALL." THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE TO HELP FIX THE ISSUE, WHICH WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY FUEL SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK AND WOULD COST $600 TO REPLACE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY AND I NOTICED WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK THE GAUGE SHOWS THAT I'M COMPLETELY EMPTY AND MY ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON. MY ALARM FOR LOW FUEL KEEPS GOING OFF. THE CAR HAS DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. AFTER I DRIVE AND USE APPROX. 2 GALLONS OF GAS THE GAUGE RESETS. I NOTICED ON THE INTERNET THAT MANY PEOPLE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM/GAS GAUGE SENSOR FAILED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE IS ONGOING, AS A RESULT I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS 3 TIMES WITH MY SMALL CHILDREN...ONCE IN THE LEFT LANE OF A VERY BUSY ROAD WHERE I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED SEVERAL TIMES (SPEED LIMIT ON ROAD WAS 55 MPH). THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN YOU ARE GETTING READY TO RUN OUT OF GAS I.E. THE LOW GAS LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY AND THE REMINDER SIGNAL DOES NOT GO OFF. I TRY TO GAUGE WHEN I NEED TO GET GAS BASED ON MILES I HAVE DRIVEN BUT MILEAGE VARIES DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF DRIVING THAT YOU ARE DOING SO THE NUMBER OF MILES YOU GET PER GALLON CAN VARY GREATLY. ALL 3 TIMES THAT I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS I WAS ON MY WAY TO GET GAS. I HAVE NOT REPLACED THIS PART BECAUSE IT IS A COSTLY REPAIR. IN ADDITION, I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A GMC/CHEVROLET FAULTY SYSTEM. I HAD A 1997 CHEVROLET BLAZER AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE GAS GAUGE. I ALSO KNOW OF AT LEAST 4 OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE GMC/CHEVROLET SUVS AND HAVE HAD THIS SAME SYSTEM FAILURE. *TR

I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY GAS GAUGE. AFTER FILLING UP MY VEHICLE WITH FUEL, THE GAS GAUGE STAYED ON EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT STAYED ON. SOMETIMES THE GAS GAUGE WOULD GO UP A LITTLE BIT AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WILL GO OUT BUT NORMALLY IT STAYS CLOSE TO EMPTY WITH THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR ON WHETHER THE CARS FUEL TANK IS FULL OR HALF EMPTY. I HEARD ON THE NEWS THAT NHTSA WAS LOOKING INTO THE GM SUV'S HAVING GAS GAUGE PROBLEMS 2 DAYS AFTER I FIRST STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS. GOOD TIMING. I TOOK MY CAR TO A REPAIR FACILITY AND THEY SAID IT IS A BAD SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK. THEY CHARGED ME $90 JUST TO DO THE DIAGNOSTIC ON THE PROBLEM AND IT WOULD COST $600 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO PULL THE GAS TANK OFF THE CAR. I DECLINED TO HAVE IT REPAIR. NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE A CAR THAT IS CLOSE TO EMPTY ALL THE TIME AND HAVE TO RELY ON THE MILEAGE TO DETERMINE WHEN I WILL RUN OUR OF GAS. ALSO,THE DIC (DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER) AUDIBLE WARNING BELL GOES "DING, DING, DING, DING" EVERY SO OFTEN WHILE DRIVING TO WARN US WE ARE ALMOST OUT OF FUEL, EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NOT. THIS CAN BE ALARMING AND DISTRACTING DRIVER TO LOOK DOWN AND SEE WHAT THE DIC IS SAYING. IT SAYS LOW FUEL. THE REPAIR FACILITY I TOOK IT TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED SAID THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN OFF THE AUDIBLE WARNING. THE CONSUMER E-MAILED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. THE CONSUMER ADDED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. I ALSO OPENED A COMPLAINT DIRECTLY WITH GMC (SERVICE REQUEST: 71-954554686) AND GM OFFERED TO PAY 10% TO FIX M

AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE TANK WITH GASOLINE, I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE GAS GAGE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO EMPTY AND THE ALARM SOUNDED. THE GAGE RECOVERED AFTER THE LEVEL DROPPED TO ABOUT 1/3 AND OPERATED CORRECTLY FOR THE REST OF THE TANK. THEN THE GAGE BECAME MORE ERRATIC AND HAS NO INDICATION OF THE AMOUNT IN THE TANK. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2006 ENVOY AND IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AS THEY MUST REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP AND SENDING UNIT IN THE TANK.

FUEL LEVEL ERRATIC THEN WAS ON EMPTY REPLACED SENSOR -OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS INOPERABLE AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH GAS WAS ACTUALLY IN THE VEHICLE CAUSING HER TO RUN OUT OF GAS INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 95,100 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

OUR FUEL GAUGE ON OUR 2006 GMC ENVOY XL STOPPED WORKING A FEW MONTHS AGO. THE GAUGE WILL FLUCTUATE BETWEEN EMPTY AND A FULL TANK. THE ESTIMATED REPAIR COST IS OVER $850. *TR

GAS GAUGE DOES NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. *TR

FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, IT WILL CONTINOUSLY MOVE FROM EMPTY TO FULL. ** 2ND COMPLAINT- I HAVE HAD THE ENGINE REBUILT BECAUSE OF" INTAKE MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY FAILURE" THE PART # IS GM 12571609 AND HAS FAILED TWICE. THE LAST REPAIR WAS 4-29-2011 THE FIRST REPAIR WAS 9-15-2010 SAME PART SAME PROBLEM. THIS REPAIR COST WAS $3500.00

FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW, THE GAS GAUGE HAS HAD AN ISSUE ON MY 2006 ENVOY XL. INCORRECT READINGS AND NOW COMPLETE FAILURE. UNABLE TO USE GAUGE, HAD TO DEPEND ON MILEAGE READINGS. NO REPAIRS ATTEMPTED, DUE TO THE COST INVOLVED. *TR
